As part of our developing an overall knowledge manage strategy, we will create a central repository (reference library) of organizational documents that are often needed for reuse.
I was wondering if anyone in the community has worked on a similar project and if you have any suggestions.
I've seen a structure of ownership to documents/folders and access control working well for organizations.
- For private/limited shared work, individuals may have their own private sub-folders, where they may maintain copies.
- Some documents will be "live documents", meaning that they will be expected to undergo revisions and edits. In such cases, assigning ownership to one person or group over those documents is a good idea. The concept of ownership is that any changes to the documents will be ok'ed by these owners before being committed to the document. Alternatively, make this portion of the drive or individual documents only editable to those whom you trust as owners, and read-only for others. This will prevent unintended, unauthorized edits.
- It's a good idea to provide at least a Read-Only access to everyone, so that people refer to this knowledge library freely and independently.
We will restructure and streame our server folder structure.
All of the above takes a long time (as we all know) so we are also doing some short-term projects.
The project I described in the question is to have a reference library/central repository of documents that people always need. Documents that people now either find with difficulty or that they often end up recreating.
@Medha Nanal your response addresses a big part of the question, which has to do the structure of permissions and what would be best practice. And guidelines for maintaining the repository. Thank you!
In the short-term, I am also interested to hear if anyone has created such a reference library of often reused documents. And if so, I'm interested to hear how you built it? What criteria did you use to determine what documents qualify for inclusion? Who decides? Did people use it? Did it work?
If you are already at the finalist stage of your decision process I am not attempting to disrupt that flow but instead let you know that I can provide insight and suggestions due to my experience.
Regarding your questions I would be happy to recommendations of how to build a library of documents and group them based upon common themes. The real question is are you simply looking to build an online repository for only reference library or is there future goal to have a solution to include all documents/workflow throughout entire organization?
If you are still considering your best option for a cloud repository allow me to give you a bit of insight based upon the document management software I sell and speak to all of your listed needs. Our solution includes all of your needs out-of-box (not priced per module) with simple naming convention configuration for folder structure and file naming. Folder Structure and File naming is automated within our system for consistency and we provide a flat-fee service to convert/migrate your existing server-based folder structure and files into our system. Permissions are based upon users/groups. The system can be easily designed so that certain users only see the "reference library" while other users/departments are utilizing the system for so much more (accounting, HR, grants, etc.). Version control is standard so users only see the latest and greatest version and check-in/check-out is standard feature to ensure that users are not editing documents at same time (permissionable ability). Any file format is acceptable including audio files and video so users will not be forced to only view as PDF if these files are templates. Even though they are editable file formats if user does not have permission to edit then there is no concern. If you have your own cloud partner AWS, Google, etc. you can purchase our software and install in your own environment. We also offer our own cloud managed platform via Google Cloud Compute.
@Kyle O'Donnell thank you for your questions and insights. We have been engaged in discovery since May as part of our developing an organizational knowledge management strategy/tool set. We are going to restructure how we manage all organizational documents and institutional knowledge. This central repository for reused documents is a "short-term" project so we can see results while working on the longer-term project.
We explored different options for our file/document management and collaboration tool and have made our choice.
Have you been assigned an account manager from the software company? He/She should be able to provide assistance with your questions about discovery of folder/permission structure.
1. We're using a cloud-based document management and storage system (Sharepoint) to store our enterprise foundational documents, such as our service delivery model slides and our internal metrics control book. Although we have not yet explored the full functionalities of Sharepoint (and are therefore utilizing our shared network drives as our primary document storage location), we have the benefit of using Sharepoint's version tracking to automatically save previous versions of documents when we want to track any major changes that speak to the evolution of a document.
2. In instances when a team prints out packets of information comprised of different documents, we create a Source Files folder for that packet and work with the team to create an understanding that this folder is to be used to store the editable versions of the individual documents. The full packet is then saved as a PDF in the parent folder so that the PDF and the Source Files folder both sit at the same tier. The guideline here is to update the final packet as often as any of the Source Files are updated. This helps with retrieval of both the final packet and the source files because it keeps all of the source files in the same location where the finalized packet is stored, but the final packet, which is the thing that is most often accessed, has higher visibility.
3. We also have a folder of most-used branded materials saved in a folder called "Enterprise Resources" in our Marketing & Communications team folder. While access to the rest of the items in the MarComms team's folders are restricted to only the members of that team, the Enterprise Resources folder is an open folder that gives everyone in the enterprise Read-only permissions. This folder holds items such as letterhead, sell sheets, PowerPoint templates, certificate templates, recruitment flyers, and print-ready logo files. Giving other staff Read-only permission here allows staff to open files and add their own content to company letterhead, for instance, but they cannot save their edited version in the MarComms folders. This keeps the templates intact, and prevents anyone from saving their changes over the original template.
Since it looks like you're planning to restructure your folder structure, too, I'd be happy to talk more about our folder re-structuring project and to swap ideas with you!
I do not mean to disrupt your process but if you are spending the time to revamp your file storage organization enterprise-wide you should not limit yourself to "folder structure". Folder structure is now considered old technology in the Document Management world.
You should investigate (compare) metadata tagging of documents and systems with ability to set permissions at the document-level. Documents will still reside in "folders" however you can determine what types of documents within each folder users should have access to.
You will be forced to create and manage several folders per employee because each group of documents related to the employee should only be accessible by certain individuals and/or government regulations. Common folder type are Personnel Folder, Confidential Folder, Affirmative Action Confidential Folders, I-9 File Folder, Medical File Folder, Benefits File Folder, plus others.
You can see that you will need to create and manager 6+ Folders per employee (Current/Termed) and this can get excessive as your company grows to hundreds or even thousands.
You define each document type and simply tag each with a unique metadata identifier such as Employee ID. All Document Types exist in a single folder however you can set permissions per document type. Two users (who have access) can view the folder but see different document types based upon their permissions.
With Metadata tags, software systems can automatically build folder structure and name files automatically so you do not have to manage anything. Typically a full audit trail for the system as well as per individual document is available for compliance/audit purposes.
In a folder-based platform you would not want to give them access to ALL of the documents across multiple folders (departments). In a document-based platform you can simply give an HR user for example access to see certain Finance document types instead of giving him/her access to everything in the Finance Department.
When you say create a centralized repository are you planning to develop the platform from scratch? Or use a third-party technology?

Home Latest Stories Dredging Clears Out Ocean City's Clogged Lagoons
Dredging Clears Out Ocean City's Clogged Lagoons
Donald Wittkowski
New contracts will continue the dredging program for lagoons and channels along the back bays.
By Donald Wittkowski
Over and over, the giant excavator operated by Scarborough Marine Group dipped its claw into the lagoon waters and scooped up gobs of gooey black muck.
For all anyone knows, the mud-like sediment could have been lying at the bottom of the lagoon in front of the Harbor House Condominiums for a millennium, explained Sean Scarborough, owner of the dredging company.
"It's silt, clay and topsoil," he said. "The silt comes from upland areas – from agricultural areas and people's yards. Eventually, it comes down the rivers and washes out here. It's gravity."
Thick sediment has been clogging Ocean City's lagoons and channels along the back bays for years, but it is finally being removed one scoop at a time by Scarborough's company and other dredging contractors.
Since Nov. 29, Scarborough Marine has been clearing away truckloads of silt from privately owned boat slips to make them useful again. The muck is so deep that it has literally replaced the water that is supposed to be under the boats. The boats, in turn, are marooned at their own slips.
"Many slips at low tide are dry. They're not slips anymore. They're back yards," Scarborough said descriptively.
Sean Scarborough's company is dredging private boat slips along Ocean City's bayfront.
Ironically, the silt being hauled out of the lagoons by Scarborough Marine is headed back to where it came from originally – the uplands.
Instead of simply taking the dredge spoils to a disposal site, the material is being used at a nursery in Corbin City to replenish the soil there, Scarborough said.
The sediment is also blended with cement for road construction and parking lots.
"We have utilized the material for agricultural use and in the construction world," Scarborough pointed out.
All of the sediment is tested to make sure it is free of contaminants and "totally harmless," he added.
"It's probably cleaner than the stuff in your front yard. It's just wet," he said.
Once the sediment is scooped out of the water by an excavator, it is placed in large floating containers called "hoppers" and then pushed to shore by a boat. Another excavator-like piece of machinery on land is used to load the material from a large container into dump trucks. The stuff never touches the ground.
The dump trucks are equipped with waterproof seals, mud locks and drip gutters to prevent the soupy sediment from leaking out onto the roads.
"It won't come out of the watertight truck bed," Scarborough said. "It's a completely clean operation. Our No. 1 focus is safety and cleanliness."

The boat slips in front of the Harbor House condos, at Second Street and Bay Avenue, are the latest dredging project undertaken by Scarborough Marine. Private boat slips at the Bay Club at Third Street and Bay Avenue and the Nor'easter condos at Seventh Street and Bay Avenue in Ocean City are also part of the company's dredging work.
In all, 15,400 cubic yards of sediment are being removed from all three of those sites – enough to fill 1,040 dump trucks, Scarborough noted.
Scarborough Marine also has 21 contracts for individually owned boat slips along the bayfront between 13th Street and Waterway Road. The company is ready to serve other property owners who want their slips dredged, Scarborough said. Typically, it costs about $4,500 per slip.
Private boat slip dredging is an offshoot of Ocean City's proposed five-year, $20 million dredging program that will be done along the entire bayfront. The city has already dredged several lagoons and channels.
Boat slip owners are able to piggyback on the city's dredging permits for their own projects. Under the voluntary program, property owners still have to pay for dredging their slips, but the process relieves them of some of the costs and headaches of doing the work on their own, including finding a disposal site for the sediment.
From left, Sean Scarborough, Mayor Jay Gillian and Jake Schwartz of the consulting firm ACT Engineers discuss the dredging work.
Ocean City's multifaceted dredging program is being touted as a model for all New Jersey shore towns dealing with the dangerous problem of sediment-clogged waterways.
"I've said from the very beginning that we had a lot of catching up to do," Mayor Jay Gillian said of the immense dredging work that needed to be done along the bayfront. "The back bays are choked."
Gillian has made the dredging program a major part of the city's capital improvement plan. He believes dredging will preserve property values, improve public safety, help the boat owners and marinas and protect the environment.
"It's so important to do, not only for recreation and our taxpayers, but also for the environment," the mayor said while watching the dredging work underway at the Harbor House condos. "Everyone benefits. This is a good thing."
The city has aggressively sought state and federal grants to help pay for the dredging projects. Gillian noted that Ocean City hopes to secure even more grants so that it may expand the dredging program.
In the meantime, he praised Scarborough Marine as an example of the "top class" companies that are dredging the boat slips and lagoons.
Josh Dougherty, operations manager for Scarborough Marine Group, uses a pole to check the depth of sediment in the lagoon.
Sean Scarborough, an Ocean City resident, is also the owner of Scarborough Properties, a commercial and residential development company. Its ownership of 700 boat slips at the Harbour Cove Marina in Somers Point and the Cape May Marina prompted the company to create Scarborough Marine Group and enter the dredging business.
The company's current dredging projects in Ocean City are hardly expected to be its last. Scarborough estimated that it will probably take years before all the work is completed.
Susan Kwiatkowski and Susan Yeck, who both own vacation condos at the Harbor House, are hopeful that the dredging project will draw more boaters to the marina. Kwiatkowski and Yeck don't have boats, but they do own slips at Harbor House and would like to rent them out.
"I think a lot more boaters will come here because of the dredging," said Yeck, who lives in Philadelphia.
Kwiatkowski, of Hatfield, Pa., explained that bigger boats currently have trouble navigating the lagoon at low tide because the sediment has made the water so shallow.
After the dredging is completed, she believes the Harbor House will become an even more attractive setting once the slips are filled with boats.
"The rentals are going to be better," Kwiatkowski said. "Then even more people will see how beautiful this place really is. The sunsets are gorgeous – absolutely to die for."

Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary
The Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary-(attractions in Thekkady) :-
Periyar Tiger Reserve: Periyar Tiger Reserve is one of the 27 tiger reserves in India. It is located in the Western Ghats in Idukki District of the Kerala state in India. The terrain of the Reserve is undulating and the drainage is dendrite. North-eastern boundary of the Reserve is a ridge, which also forms boundary between Kerala and Tamil Nadu states for 90 km.It is a must to go for Jungle Track during your visit to the Periyar National Park. There is different kind of options available for the Jungle Track. It is one of the 16 Project Tiger Reserves in India. About a century ago, a British engineer, Col. J. Pennycuick, chalked out a plan to dam the Periyar River, subsequently, a dam was constructed in 1895. This resulted in the adjoining forests being granted protection, by the Maharaja of Travancore. The 55 sq km reservoir and the surrounding forests, provide protection to the animals within. Today, Periyar is undeniably, one of the most impressive wildlife sanctuaries in the world. The terrain is basically hilly, and the only flat areas of the sanctuary are the grasslands, at the edges of the lakes. Impregnable forests and open grasslands make for a sustaining environment, for both the carnivore and herbivore population of the reserve.
Periyar is famous for its pachyderm population, which is around 800 in number. Periyar is probably one of the few places, where one can observe the elephants in their natural surroundings, uninterrupted, and approach to within 20 metres of them, fearlessly. Unlike their African counterparts, Indian female elephants have no tusks. Very few of the all – bulls, too, have tusks, a sad comment on the intense level of poaching in the country. Apart from elephants, the other animals to be seen in the sanctuary are gaur, wild pigs, sambar, barking deer, mouse deer, dhole (Indian wild dog) and very rarely, a tiger. There are, now, an estimated 40 tigers here. Four species of primates are found at Periyar – the rare lion-tailed macaque, the Nilgiri langur, common langur and bonnet macaque. Periyar also happens to be the habitat of the elusive Nilgiri tahr, which is rarely to be seen. The birdlife comprises of darters, cormorants, kingfishers, great hornbills (the great Malabar hornbill) and racket-tailed drongoes. The reptilian population boasts of monitor lizards, which can be spotted basking in the sun, on the rocks along the lakeshore, especially in the cooler months. Pythons, king cobras, flying lizards, flying squirrels, flying snakes and to top it all, flying frogs are the other inhabitants of this amazing sanctuary. There are a few fascinating tribal villages around the Periyar, primarily the Manan and Oorali tribes. The Manans are ace fishermen, and a few of them still indulge in the traditional, if dangerous, practice of collecting the honey of large and deadly hill bees. The Ooralis build tree dwellings, though not as residences, but watch-towers to keep wild pigs, and elephants from ruining their crops. Periyar is a sanctuary only traversed by boat, which annuls the chances of traffic noise, and dust. With special permission, one can boat to the source of the Periyar Lake, the Periyar river. This area falls at the heart of the sanctuary, not usually open to visits, and the rest house located there, is known as Thannikudi.
The sloth bear is a common sight at Thannikudi, and tigers, too, prefer this area, as it is far removed from the main park area, hence, peaceful. On the whole, visiting the Periyar Sanctuary is a delightful and enlightening experience, one that should not be missed for the world.The Periyar protected area lies in the middle of a mountainous area of the Cardamom Hills. In the north and the east it is bounded by mountain ridges of over 1700 metres altitude and toward the west it expands into a 1200 Meter high plateau. From this level the altitude drops steeply to the deepest point of the reserve, the 100 Meter valley of the Pamba River. The highest peak is the 2019 Meter high Kottamalai. The sanctuary surrounds picturesque 26 km² Periyar lake, formed by the building of Mullaperiyar Dam in 1895. This reservoir and the Periyar River meander around the contours of the wooded hills, providing a permanent source of water for the local wildlife.The temperatures vary depending upon the altitude and it ranges between 15° Celsius in December and January and 31° Celsius in April and May. The annual amount of precipitation lies between 2000 and 3000 mm. About two thirds of the precipitation occurs during the southwest monsoon between June to September. A smaller amount of precipitation occurs during the northeast monsoon between October and December.

Guillaume de Machaut (sometimes spelled Machault) (c. 1300 – April 1377) was a Medieval French poet and composer. He is one of the earliest composers on whom significant biographical information is available. According to Daniel Leech-Wilkinson, Machaut was "the last great poet who was also a composer". Well into the 15th century, Machaut's poetry was greatly admired and imitated by other poets, including Geoffrey Chaucer.
Machaut composed in a wide range of styles and forms. He is a part of the musical movement known as the ars nova. Machaut helped develop the motet and secular song forms (particularly the lai and the formes fixes: rondeau, virelai and ballade). Machaut wrote the Messe de Nostre Dame, the earliest known complete setting of the Ordinary of the Mass attributable to a single composer.
Guillaume de Machaut was born c. 1300 and educated in the region around Rheims. Though his surname most likely derives from the nearby town of Machault, 30 km east of Rheims in the Ardennes region, most scholars believe his birthplace was, in fact, Rheims.
He was employed as secretary to John I, Count of Luxemburg and King of Bohemia, from 1323 to 1346 and also became a canon (1337). He most likely accompanied King John on his various trips, many of them military expeditions, around Europe (including Prague). He was named the canon of Verdun in 1330, Arras in 1332, and Rheims in 1337. By 1340, Machaut was living in Rheims, having relinquished his other canonic posts at the request of Pope Benedict XII. In 1346, King John was killed fighting at the Battle of Crécy, and Machaut, who was famous and much in demand, entered the service of various other aristocrats and rulers, including King John's daughter Bonne (who died of the Black Death in 1349), her sons Jean de Berry and Charles (later Charles V, Duke of Normandy), and others such as Charles II of Navarre.
Machaut survived the Black Death that devastated Europe and spent his later years living in Rheims composing and supervising the creation of his complete-works manuscripts. His poem Le voir dit (probably 1361–1365) purports to recount a late love affair with a 19-year-old girl, Péronne d'Armentières, although the accuracy of the work as autobiography is contested. When he died in 1377, other composers such as François Andrieu wrote elegies lamenting his death.
Guillaume de Machaut's lyric output comprises around 400 poems, including 235 ballades, 76 rondeaux, 39 virelais, 24 lais, 10 complaintes, and 7 chansons royales, and Machaut did much to perfect and codify these fixed forms. Some of his lyric output is inserted in his narrative poems or "dits", such as Le remède de fortune ("The Cure of Ill Fortune") which includes one of each genre of lyric poetry, and Le voir dit ("A True Story"), but most are included in a separate, unordered section entitled Les loanges des dames. That the majority of his lyrics are not set to music (in manuscripts, music and non-music sections are separate) suggests that he normally wrote the text before setting some to music.
Other than his Latin motets of a religious nature and some poems invoking the horrors of war and captivity, the vast majority of Machaut's lyric poems partake of the conventions of courtly love and involve statements of service to a lady and the poet's pleasure and pains. In technical terms, Machaut was a master of elaborate rhyme schemes, and this concern makes him a precursor to the Grands Rhétoriqueurs of the 15th century.
Guillaume de Machaut's narrative output is dominated by the "dit" (literally "spoken", i.e. a poem not meant to be sung). These first-person narrative poems (all but one are written in octosyllabic rhymed couplets, like the romance, or "roman" of the same period) follow many of the conventions of the Roman de la rose, including the use of allegorical dreams (songes), allegorical characters, and the situation of the narrator-lover attempting to return toward or satisfy his lady.
Machaut is also responsible for a poetic chronicle the chivalric deeds of Peter I of Cyprus (the Prise d'Alexandrie) and for poetic works of consolation and moral philosophy. His unusual self-reflective usage of himself (as his lyrical persona) as the narrator of his dits gleans some personal philosophical insights as well.
At the end of his life, Machaut wrote a poetic treatise on his craft (his Prologue). This reflects on his conception of the organization of poetry into set genres and rhyme schemes, and the ordering of these genres into distinct sections of manuscripts. This pre-occupation in ordering his oeuvre is reflected in an index to MS A entitled "Vesci l'ordenance que G. de Machau wet qu'il ait en son livre" ("Here is the order that G. de Machaut wants his book to have").
Machaut's poetry had a direct effect on the works of Eustache Deschamps, Jean Froissart, Christine de Pizan, René of Anjou and Geoffrey Chaucer, among many others.
Principal works
Le remède de fortune ("The Cure of Ill Fortune") (c. 1340s, before 1357) – The narrator is asked by his lady if the poem she has found is by him; the narrator flees from her and comes to a garden where "Hope" consoles him and teaches him how to be a good lover; he returns to his lady.
Jugement du roy de Behainge ("Judgement of the King of Bohemia") (before 1346) – The narrator hears a debate between a lady (whose lover is dead) and a knight (betrayed by his lady); in order to proclaim one or the other the most unhappy, the narrator seeks out the advice of the King of Bohemia who consults allegories, and the unhappy knight is declared the winner.
Dit du Lyon ("Story of the Lion") (1342) – The narrator comes to a magical island and a lion guides him to a beautiful lady; an old knight comes to the narrator and reveals the meaning of what he sees and gives him advice for being a better lover.
Dit de l'Alérion aka Dit des quatre oiseaux ("Story of the 4 Birds") (before 1349) – A symbolic tale of love: the narrator raises four different birds, but each one flees him; one day the second (and preferred) bird comes back to him.
Jugement du roy de Navarre ("Judgement of the King of Navarre") (1349) – Following up on the Jugement du roy de Behainge, a lady blames the narrator for awarding the prize to the knight: the King of Navarre is consulted and condemns the poet.
Confort d'ami (1357) - Dedicated to Charles II of Navarre (who was a prisoner in France), this poetic consolation gives biblical and classical examples (exempla) of fortitude.
Dit de la fontaine amoureuse aka Livre de Morpheus ("Story of the Amorous Fountain") (1361) – The narrator meets a hopeless lover who must separate from his lady; the two men come to a magical fountain and fall asleep, and in a dream the lady consoles her lover.
Le voir dit ("A True Story") (c. 1362–65) – Often seen as Machaut's masterpiece, this poem is an early example of meta-fiction and tells of the sadness and separation of the narrator, from his lady and of the false rumors that are spread about him. The narrative is stuffed with prose letters and lyric poems that the narrator claims were in truth exchanged by the unhappy lovers and put in the book at the behest of his lady. The work however is highly satirical and mocks the conventional paradigm of medieval courtly literature by presenting himself as an old, ill, impotent poet as the lover of a young and beautiful maiden, who falls in love with him from his reputation as a poet alone. Though the work is called a voir dit or true story, Machaut includes many inconsistencies which force the reader to question the truthfulness of his story.
Prologue (c. 1372) – written at the end of his life as a preface to his collected works, this allegory describes Machaut's principles of poetry, music and rhetoric, as imparted to him by Nature and Love.
Prise d'Alexandrie ("The Capture of Alexandria") (after 1369) – poetic retelling of the exploits of Peter of Lusignan, King of Jerusalem and of Cyprus.
As a composer of the 14th century, Machaut's secular song output includes monophonic lais and virelais, which continue, in updated forms, some of the tradition of the troubadours. He also worked in the polyphonic forms of the ballade and rondeau and wrote the first complete setting of the Ordinary of the Mass which can be attributed to a single composer. Machaut fused together contemporary styles and techniques to create a series of masterworks that Classic FM Magazine says stands at the summit of 14th century music.
Secular music
The lyrics of Machaut's works almost always dealt with courtly love. A few works exist to commemorate a particular event, such as M18, "Bone Pastor/Bone Pastor/Bone Pastor." Machaut mostly composed in five genres: the lai, the virelai, the motet, the ballade, and the rondeau. In these genres, Machaut retained the basic formes fixes but often utilized creative text setting and cadences. For example, most rondeaux phrases end with a long melisma on the penultimate syllable. However, a few of Machaut's rondeaux, such as R18 "Puis qu'en oubli", are mostly syllabic in treatment.
Machaut's motets often contain sacred texts in the tenor, such as in M12 "Corde mesto cantando/Helas! pour quoy virent/Libera me". The top two voices in these three-part compositions, in contrast, sing secular French texts, creating interesting concordances between the sacred and secular. In his other genres, though, he does not utilize sacred texts.
Machaut's cyclic setting of the Mass, the Messe de Nostre Dame ("Mass of Our Lady"), was probably composed for Rheims Cathedral in the early 1360s. While not the first cyclic mass – the Tournai Mass is earlier – it was the first by a single composer and conceived as a unit. Machaut probably was familiar with the Tournai Mass since the Messe de Nostre Dame shares many stylistic features with it, including textless interludes.
Whether or not Machaut's mass is indeed cyclic is contested; after lengthy debate, musicologists are still deeply divided. However, there is a consensus that this mass is at best a forerunner to the later 15th-century cyclic masses by the likes of Josquin des Prez. Machaut's mass differs from these in the following ways: (1) he does not hold a tonal centre throughout the entire work, as the mass uses two distinct modes (one for the Kyrie, Gloria and Credo, another for Sanctus, Agnus and Ita missa est); (2) there is no extended melodic theme that clearly runs through all the movements, and the mass does not use the parody technique; (3) there is considerable evidence that this mass was not composed in one creative motion. That the movements may have been placed together does not mean they were conceived so.[5]
Nevertheless, the mass can be said to be stylistically consistent, and certainly the chosen chants are all celebrations of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Also adding weight to the claim that the mass is cyclic is the possibility that the piece was written or assembled for performance at a specific celebration. The possibility that it was for the coronation of Charles V, which was once widely accepted, is thought unlikely in modern scholarship. The composer's intention that the piece be performed as one entire mass setting makes the Messe de Nostre Dame generally considered a cyclic composition.

Fabuła
Akcja gry toczy się równolegle do wydarzeń ukazanych w pierwszej części produkcji. Śmierć, jeden z Czterech Jeźdźców Apokalipsy dowiaduje się, że Rada Spopielonych oskarżyła jego brata, Wojnę, o złamanie odwiecznych zasad, i bezprawne, przedwczesne wywołanie Apokalipsy. Śmierć jednak wie, że jego brat jest najbardziej honorowym i praworządnym z całej Czwórki, i nigdy nie dopuścił by się takiego czynu. Wierzy, że Wojna stał się ofiarą spisku, i postanawia go uratować- znaleźć dowód na jego niewinność i wskrzesić Ludzkość, która została unicestwiona w Wojnie Ostatecznej. Wkrótce okazuje się, że Śmierć musi zmierzyć się nie tylko z tymi, którzy chcą mu przeszkodzić w osiągnięciu celu, ale także z demonami własnej przeszłości.

Hey guys, we just wanted to update you on Tour Play for the 2017 season. So far from what we have seen the 2017 M1 and M2 are dominating on tour. There are approximately 20 2017 M2 in play in any given week, around 18 2017 M1 and then not surprisingly at all there is still 19 2016 M2 in play. The 2016 M2 was a real winner, the fact that the 2016 M2 still gets that much play really says a lot. Typically TM will try to steer the guys into the new model year driver.
We were told that the 2017 M2 had to be redone, as the tour feedback was not up to par. From what we heard they had to redesign them completely and the new ones are being called Version 2, you can tell a V2 head by a K in the middle of the serial number. All of our M2s are currently the V2. The best comparison we have heard so far is 2016 M2 to the 2017 M1.
As far as shafts there are a lot of Fujikura Atmos shafts in play, especially considering it just came out earlier this year. There are already over 15 in play in any given week. The most popular on tour has been the Atmos Blue. Then the Graphite Design DI continues its tour dominance, well over 25 in play in any given week. T1100 still has a nice following at 12 or 13 players in any given week. Then the new PX Evenflow is really picking up play. It's getting a couple new players every week and already has almost as many in play as the T1100.
If you have any questions as far as tour play or tour feedback please feel free to shoot us an email at info@thepeoplesclubs.com. We hope you enjoyed our blog and have a great day!

Day one of the course will provide an in-depth look into model risk management from conception to where it is today, focusing on governance and the effect of current regulations. Implications of this governance will then be considered before approaches to building a model risk management framework and setting risk appetites. The day will end with approaches to pricing models and FO pricing models.
Day two continues with risk models and non-pricing models including ALM and retail models. Credit risk models will also be covered with a look at regulations such as IFRS 9 and CECL. The course continues with a focus on machine learning in model risk and how to ensure transparency through model calibrations. The training ends with the role of internal audit and how to create a good control environment.

This is the stage where we document all of our client's goals and objectives and shape them into one cohesive marketing plan. This process builds on the market research – defining target audiences and setting out the marketing strategy for reaching them i.e. branding, digital, direct marketing and exhibitions/shows. Whilst we do undertake one-off projects for clients, our goal is to build long-term relationships that deliver real business results, and this is why our marketing strategy service is so important.
Having a marketing strategy helps Reech and the client remain focused, ensuring activities (and budget!) are focused on determined the right outcome, typically more sales! The marketing strategy will clearly identify business objectives, and your client's (segmenting if required). The next stage is to create a marketing plan, determining marketing activities and the timing of these marketing activities for maximum impact.
Today, the majority of our clients are Reech Relationship Clients, working with us for a minimum period of twelve months. These relationships start with reviewing the client's objectives, and revisiting these every quarter. This longer term approach allows Reech to manage internal resources effectively to ensure the client receives the very highest level of quality and service, whilst it allows the client to plan and budget over a twelve month period. However, there is also plenty of room for flexibility and of course the ability to respond to an emergency or short-term opportunity.
Marketing strategy is a core part of a Reech Relationship, with other benefits including priority (and out-of-hours) service, and a discounted day rate. Reech's marketing strategy service incorporates brand and digital strategy; however, these services are also available independently.

What We Know So Far About U.S. Government's Plan to Track COVID Vaccine Recipients
To track COVID vaccine recipients, Operation Warp Speed has resurrected a program devised after the September 11 attacks that was quickly defunded following public backlash over privacy concerns.
Story at-a-glance:
Operation Warp Speed (OWS), a joint operation between U.S. Health and Human Services and the Department of Defense, continues to be shrouded in secrecy.
OWS is a public-private partnership tasked with producing therapeutics and a fast-tracked COVID-19 vaccine — 300 million doses' worth that are intended to be made available starting in January 2021.
OWS has plans to engage an "active pharmacovigilance surveillance system" to track Americans for 24 months following vaccination.
One of OWS' four key tenets is "traceability," which includes confirming which of the approved vaccines were administered regardless of location (public or private), reminding recipients to return for a second dose and ensuring that the correct second dose is administered.
Google and Oracle, multinational computer technology corporations headquartered in California, in the heart of Silicon Valley, have been contracted to "collect and track vaccine data" as part of OWS' surveillance systems.
OWS, rather than being directed by public health officials, is heavily dominated by military, technology companies and U.S. intelligence agencies, likening it to a successor for Total Information Awareness (TIA), a program that sprang up after the September 11 attacks but was quickly defunded following public backlash over privacy concerns.
At face value, OWS is a public-private partnership tasked with producing therapeutics and a fast-tracked COVID-19 vaccine — 300 million doses' worth that are intended to be made available starting in January 2021.
But it appears the involvement doesn't end there. Rather than just ensuring a vaccine is produced and made available for those who want it, Moncef Slaoui, the chief scientific adviser for Operation Warp Speed, dubbed the coronavirus vaccine czar, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that the rollout will include "incredibly precise … tracking systems."
Their purpose? "To ensure that patients each get two doses of the same vaccine and to monitor them for adverse health effects." In an interview with The New York Times, Slaoui described it as a "very active pharmacovigilance surveillance system."
What will the vaccine monitoring system entail?
This is the number one question, and one that hasn't been answered, at least not officially. "While Slaoui himself was short on specifics regarding this 'pharmacovigilance surveillance system,'" news outlet Humans Are Free reported, "the few official documents from OWS that have been publicly released offer some details about what this system may look like and how long it is expected to 'track' the vital signs and whereabouts of Americans who receive a Warp Speed vaccine."
One of the documents, "From the Factory to the Frontlines: The Operation Warp Speed Strategy for Distributing a COVID-19 Vaccine," was released by HHS. It also mentions the use of pharmacovigilance surveillance along with Phase 4 (post-licensure) clinical trials in order to assess the vaccines' long-term safety, since "some technologies have limited previous data on safety in humans."

The Coffee Shop – MONOPOLY, the Board Game's True Origins
Posted on June 6, 2016 by wordcloud9
The Coffee Shop is an open thread-style discussion forum for human interest news of the day.
This is an open thread. There are several hosts, each host being responsible for picking a "theme of the day" and starting the discussion. However, there is no hard and fast rule about staying on topic, especially if you have a personal story burning a hole in your pocket trying to escape.
Pictures and videos are welcome in the comments. If photos are used, please be sure you own the copyright. We would rather see your personal photos anyway, rather than random stuff copied from the internet. Our only request is that if you use pictures or videos, take pity on those who don't have broadband, and don't post more than two or three in a single comment.
This is an Open Thread. Grab your cup, pull up a chair, sit a spell and share what's on your mind today.
The "official" story of MONOPOLY, the one that came inside the game's box for years, isn't the whole story of the game. Charles Darrow wasn't really the sole inventor of the game – in the 1930's, he "borrowed" much of it from THE LANDLORD'S GAME, which was created and patented by Elizabeth Magie, and from other buying-selling-land games that previously had only limited success. But Darrow is the first game designer to become a millionaire from sales of his board game. Elizabeth Magie is said to have made $500 from her earlier version of the game.
Elizabeth "Lizzie" Magie Phillips (1866–1948) was introduced to the ideas of Henry George by her father, James K. Magie (pronounced Muh-GEE, rhymes with 'key'), a newspaper publisher and abolitionist, who had traveled with Lincoln in the 1850s during the Lincoln-Douglas debates.
Henry George (1839 – 1897) was an American political economist-philosopher, famous for popularizing the 'Single-Tax' idea. Georgism, the idea that people should own value they fairly create, but that natural resources, most importantly the value of land or location, should be owned in common by a community, was popularized by his most famous work, Progress and Poverty (1879), which sold millions of copies worldwide, probably more than any other American book before that time. It shows the paradox of increasing inequality and poverty amid economic and technological progress, the cyclic nature of industrialized economies, and the use of extensive land value taxes as a remedy for these and other social problems.
Elizabeth Magie made her board game as a teaching tool to explain and promote George's ideas. The Landlord's Game was meant to show the economic ill effects of land monopolism. She was granted U.S. Patent 748,626 for her game on January 5, 1904. When game companies showed no interest her board game, Magie and some fellow Georgists formed the Economic Game Co. in 1906 to self-publish The Landlord's Game. However, in 1910 Parker Brothers did publish her humorous card game Mock Trial.
She patented a revised version of her game in 1924, because her original patent had expired in 1921, and college students were making their own boards and pieces to play the game. The new version was two games in one, as there were alternate rules for a game called Prosperity.
Charles Darrow's Monopoly, was launched by Parker Brothers in 1935, and quickly became a best seller.
In a January 1936 Washington Post interview with Magie, she lashed out at Charles Darrow and Parker Brothers for perverting her game, and held up the board from The Landlord's Game as proof that she was the originator. Parker Brothers made a deal to publish her games.
They sold her final board game inventions Bargain Day and King's Men in 1937, and a third version of The Landlord's Game in 1939. In Bargain Day, shoppers competed in a department store; King's Men was an abstract strategy game. Part of the deal was that her name would not be associated with Darrow's Monopoly, because Magie thought it glorified greed, the very opposite of her intention.
Magie's role as the inventor of the early version of Monopoly was uncovered by Ralph Anspach, an economics professor, who began a long legal battle in 1973 against Parker Brothers over his Anti-Monopoly game. While researching the case, he uncovered her patents. His research became part of the court record.

If you can find one (and if you are willing to wait a bit and look around, you likely will) consider a used Day Sequerra Urban FM Antenna. I have had the Magnum Dynalab antenna with and without a signal amplifier in my system, and feel that the Urban FM is a nontrivial improvement, at least in my signal area.
Anything except a directional on the roof with a rotator is a compromise. Sad but true.
Thanks for all the help. Any particular signal amp in mind?

Celina's Thursday Forecast on KTSM 9
El Paso Locomotive FC and midfielder Alexy Bosetti mutually agree to part ways
Locomotive FC
by: Colin Deaver
Posted: Jun 28, 2020 / 06:09 PM MDT / Updated: Jun 28, 2020 / 06:14 PM MDT
EL PASO, TEXAS (KTSM) – El Paso Locomotive FC and midfielder Alexy Bosetti have mutually agreed to part ways, the club announced Sunday.
"It's been an honor and a privilege to work with Alexy," said Mark Lowry, Head Coach and Technical Director. "He is an incredibly talented footballer. We have enjoyed every moment of him being here in El Paso. He has contributed to the group. We wish him all the luck in the world as he returns to France and continues to pursue his great career in soccer."
Bosetti played 1,403 minutes for Locomotive across 28 games (17 starts) through the inaugural 2019 season in USL Championship. The midfielder tallied two goals and three assists during his Locomotive tenure.
"I want to say thank you to all the fans, the staff, my teammates and all the people around the team," said Bosetti. "I want to thank them for the year here in El Paso. I appreciated every moment. Stay El Paso strong."

I first looked at and recommended Five Below, Inc. (FIVE) ahead of last year's Black Friday, and my bottom line was "FIVE has been trading sideways the past month but I expect it to go higher. Traders can buy FIVE here and risk a close below $53 looking for gains potentially to the low $80's."
With FIVE getting close to our target price let's pay it another visit.
In this updated daily bar chart of FIVE, below, we can see that prices area having a strong upside session today. FIVE is back above the rising 50-day moving average line. The rising 200-day line has not been approached since the end of August.
The daily On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line shows a positive move from August into April followed by a sharp decline. Over the past six weeks the OBV line has been steady. Ideally if the OBV starts to improve again it will help the bull cause.
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator is hugging the zero line now but could turn up with stronger prices.
In this weekly bar chart of FIVE, below, we can see that prices are above the rising 40-week moving average line.
The weekly OBV line is positive overall and the weakness in the past two months is not excessive.
The weekly MACD oscillator is pointed down in a take profits mode so we should probably raise our sell stops.
In this Point and Figure chart of FIVE, below, we can see a new upside price target of $87. A trade up at $79.05 is needed to refresh the uptrend.
Bottom line: Considering that I hate to shop, our Black Friday recommendation of last year has turned out great. Longs should raise sell stop protection to just below $70 which should act as support. I would stick to the original game plan and look to nail down some profits in the low $80's in the weeks ahead.

Oakland International Airport Director Bryant L. Francis stated, "We are very pleased to witness this continued upward pattern as the busy summer travel season gets underway. There is a growing awareness of OAK as a major air access channel, not just for the East Bay but for the entire Bay Area. This is echoed by our air carrier partners through the addition of flights and new nonstop routes, and from our customers through making ever greater use of the steadily increasing number of available seats."
The Airport attributed May's passenger increase to the launch of a long-anticipated U.S. summer travel season. The inauguration of the first Oakland-to-London service on Norwegian also drove traffic higher.
Passenger traffic growth is likely to increase again in June, the Airport said. Southwest Airlines introduced new daily Oakland service this month to Long Beach, Reno-Tahoe and St. Louis, adding over 1,000 daily outbound seats.
Members of the news media needing information or assistance in reporting news about Oakland International Airport may call the airport's 24-hour Media Hotline at (510) 563-6500.

There's nothing worse than getting hit by a 100mph heater. The same can be said when you hit the seat of a vehicle that's been baking in the sun for hours. Use this Rangers Sun Shade to stay cool on all your trips.


Jonathan is an excellent kicker. He has a solid leg and makes kicks with nice consistency. Smooth and accurate. Kicks with confidence and does well under pressure. Field goals are a strength. Kickoffs are slightly behind kickoffs, but he also shows college potential in this area. Also a dependable punter. Very solid all around prospect that will one day make a fine addition to a college football program. Should have a big senior season.

Chargesheet filed in Uber rape case
New Delhi: Delhi Police Wednesday filed a chargesheet in a court here against a driver of the Uber taxi company who was accused of raping a 27-year-old working woman in the capital.
Police filed the chargesheet against Shiv Kumar Yadav before Metropolitan Magistrate Ajay Kumar Malik on charges of rape, abduction, threat to life and other charges.
The court fixed Jan 2, 2015 for consideration of the chargesheet.
Yadav, 32, allegedly committed the rape on the night of Dec 5, when the woman, who works for a finance company in Gurgaon, was heading back home in north Delhi's Inderlok area.
The chargesheet was filed after 29 days of the incident under sections 376 (rape), 366 (kidnapping or abducting woman with an intent to compel her for marriage), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) of the Indian Penal Code.
In the over 100-page chargesheet, police cited 44 prosecution witnesses in support of its case.
Police also relied on forensic evidence and placed on record the route map of the car in which the offence was committed.
The ordeal took place during the two-and-a-half hours the woman had to spend in the cab after being picked up by the driver, said police.
The court also extended till Jan 2, 2015 the judicial custody of Yadav, who was produced in court after expiry of his custody.
The Delhi High Court also declined a plea by Uber against the ban and blacklisting of its services.
On Tuesday, the high court had set aside the Delhi government's ban on the Ola cab company, but refused the same relief to Uber.
In the rape case, it was found during investigation that the driver had a criminal record and was accused in an earlier rape case.
During investigation, it was also revealed that Yadav, who has three children, was arrested in 2011 in a rape case with the same modus operandi in south Delhi and spent seven months in Tihar jail.
He was later acquitted, after the victim took back the allegations.
Police said the driver was under the influence of alcohol while picking up the woman from south Delhi's Vasant Vihar between 10 and 10.15 p.m. Dec 5.

Kim Jong Il`s China Trip Steals Fire From Carter`s Visit
Posted August. 27, 2010 12:42,
Kim Jong Il`s China Trip Steals Fire From Carter`s Visit. August. 27, 2010 12:42. triplets@donga.com.
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is probably more embarrassed than anyone to learn of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il's unexpected visit to China Thursday.
On a visit to the North Korean capital of Pyongyang, Carter had an itinerary that included a meeting and dinner with the North's No. 2 man Kim Yong Nam. Carter arrived at Sunan Airport in Pyongyang Wednesday afternoon.
Kim Kye Kwan, the North's chief negotiator to the six-party nuclear talks, received Carter at the airport and accompanied Kim Yong Nam at the dinner held at Baekhwawon State Guest House.
The North's official news media said Carter did not have the chance to meet Kim Jong Il. The North Korean leader went to China on an exclusive train that crossed the Chinese border on his previous China visits, and will probably return in about a week.
Because of this, it was deemed virtually impossible for Carter to meet Kim Jong Il.
The main purpose of the former U.S. president's visit was to gain the release of the detained American Aijalon Mahli Gomes. Carter, however, also spoke of a "grand vision" of bringing Pyongyang back to the negotiating table and tackling the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and regional peace through a meeting with Kim Jong Il.
Given the situation, Carter might very well feel embarrassed and disappointed.
Gomes' release was virtually a done deal even before Carter's visit. As such, Carter could be seen as returning home empty handed.
Park Han-sik, an international affairs professor at the University of Georgia who arranged Carter's visit, said Wednesday, "Former President Carter has sought a North Korea visit since tension heightened on the Korean Peninsula due to the Cheonan sinking, and flew to Pyongyang under the condition of holding a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Il," indicating that such an encounter was assured.
If no meeting is held, this will probably perplex the Obama administration since it has repeatedly stressed that Carter made the visit for humanitarian purposes in his capacity as a private citizen. Since Washington permitted the trip despite the scheduled announcement of additional financial sanctions on Pyongyang, the U.S. probably feels dumbfounded over Kim's unexpected trip.
Another possibility is that Carter already met Kim Jong Il. The North Korean leader's latest China visit was made in secret and publicizing his visit is at the full discretion of the North Korean leadership. Thus Kim Jong Il might have held the meeting on the first day of Carter's visit to Pyongyang and discussed the North's relations with the U.S. and South Korea.
Kim Yong Nam might have also conveyed a message from Kim Jong Il by silently notifying Carter about the China visit out of respect for the former U.S. president.
Carter's schedule in Pyongyang, which is unfolding in a complicated fashion, will likely be released only after Thursday (U.S. time), when he arrives in Washington.

Five-second rule for dropped food? Try 30
Wed, 13 Jun 2007 17:05 UTC
A man drops a brownie on the floor. If he picks it up within five seconds, should he still eat it? Two U.S. students claim the answer is yes.
In fact, they say he could wait half a minute.
The students, who are seniors at Connecticut College, studied the five-second rule as part of their microbiology class.
Russian "Ninja" robs Italian villagers at arrow-point
A 31-year-old Russian national has been arrested for attacking and robbing Italian villagers in a province in northeast Italy, dressed head to toe in black and wielding a bow and arrow, Italian police said.
According to police, Igor Vaclavic would dress up in a Ninja outfit come nightfall, don a mask and arm himself with a bow and arrow before setting out for isolated farms near the town of Rovigo.
Having picked out a target, the "Ninja" bandit would attack the owners, threatening to shoot everyone with his medieval weapon and demanding gold, jewelry and money.
Reports of the raids so panicked the district that villagers would barricade themselves inside their farms at night, although that did not save some of them. Vaclavic would reportedly smash windows with a volley of arrows, and break in letting out blood-curdling yells.
U.S. cartoon satire about Bush to premiere on television
The popular American television channel Comedy Central announced the release Wednesday of an animated satirical show portraying President George W. Bush and his inner circle as a band of mischievous kids.
Lil' Bush relates the fictitious adventures of the current U.S. president, featuring him as a schoolboy, but is set in the real political context of today, except that in the movie, the nation's incumbent Chief Executive is his father, George Bush Sr.
The title character, Lil' George Bush, resides in the White House with his mom and dad and makes mischief with school buddies Lil' Condi, Lil' Cheney, and Lil' Rummy - characters inspired by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Vice President Dick Cheney and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

Only psychopaths would think of such idea. Pentagon confirms it sought to build a 'Gay Bomb'
A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.
Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS station KPIX-TV in San Francisco that military leaders had considered, and then subsequently rejected, building the so-called gay bomb.
Edward Hammond, of Berkeley's Sunshine Project, had used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain a copy of the proposal from the Air Force's Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio.
As part of a military effort to develop non-lethal weapons, the proposal suggested, "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior."
G8 2007 - a drunkards summit? Sarkozy's teetotal image is blurred
Adam Sage
France's teetotal President appears to have fallen off the wagon during a bonding session with Vladimir Putin at the G8 summit.
A video showing the usually precise Nicolas Sarkozy in unsteady form at a press conference that came after his meeting with the Russian head of state.
Apparently trying to suppress a laugh, Mr Sarkozy excused himself for arriving late and seemed at a loss to know what to tell the assembled journalists.
"Would you prefer me to answer questions?" he said with a broad smile as he swayed behind the lectern at the summit in Heiligendamm, Germany. "Well then, are there any questions?"

19th-century weapon found in whale
ERIN CONROY
A 50-ton bowhead whale caught off the Alaskan coast last month had a weapon fragment embedded in its neck that showed it survived a similar hunt - more than a century ago. Embedded deep under its blubber was a 3 1/2-inch arrow-shaped projectile that has given researchers insight into the whale's age, estimated between 115 and 130 years old.
Just get the blubber and such (since its laying prone there) and then be done with it and let the whale be gone with dignity. All this "pretending...

'Legends of Tomorrow' Star Caity Lotz on the Importance of Sara's Bisexuality
By Jenna Anderson - July 27, 2018 10:45 am EDT
Legends of Tomorrow fans can certainly expect a lot of twist and turns in Season 4, and it sounds like that will be the case for the ensemble's captain.
ComicBook.com got a chance to chat with the cast of Legends of Tomorrow at San Diego Comic-Con, where Caity Lotz teased what fans can expect next for Sara Lance/White Canary. As Lotz explained, she loves continuing to get a chance to represent Sara's bisexuality onscreen, especially when in such a prominent role on the show.
"It's cool." Lotz explained. "I really love that we get to have, not only a female captain, but a bisexual female leader. So I think for representation, it's been awesome."
And going into Season 4, it sounds like Sara's sexuality will factor in in a new way. Sara's newfound relationship with Ava Sharpe (Jes Macallan) will give the team captain a new sense of purpose, which could conflict with the Legends' whole M.O..
"And this season, Sara finally is starting to build a life that has some meaning. Like, she has something to live for now. Before, it was always like she had nothing to lose. And now, all of the sudden, she's got this hot chick she's really in love with, making some future plans. And that's not easy when you're on a time ship."
As fans will remember, Ava and Sara kept each other at a distance when they first met last season, but ultimately developed a romantic relationship. While the pair had some brief speed bumps - namely, Ava realizing that she's a clone from the future - they have since rekindled their romance.
Considering how well fans have responded to Ava's introduction - and to Sara's bisexuality being represented properly onscreen - it will certainly be interesting to see how audiences respond to what's next for "AvaLance".
"I guess the whole founding principle of the show and what it means to be a legend," showrunner Phil Klemmer said of Ava's fanbase. "It's kind of a punk rock ethos of, oddballs are not just welcome, oddballs are recommended. The straight over the plate superheroes wouldn't function well with our other characters. I think that's why people draw inspiration from the show, because a lot of people, myself included, feel like weirdos. Then the idea that you would find a kindred group who are weird in different ways, but they compliment each other in a really cool way [is appealing]."
"They tolerate each other as best they can." Klemmer continued. "It's not cuddly, feel good. Our guys are sarcastic with each other. They're like a family who fights all the time but then would give their life without question for one another. I think that's why we're able to bring new people in because I feel like everybody's a stray. Or certainly people who are searching for belonging and family. They find it unexpectedly on the Waverider."
Are you excited to see what's next for Sara Lance on Legends of Tomorrow? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
The season four premiere of Legends of Tomorrow, which is titled "The Virgin Gary", will debut on Monday, October 22nd, at 9/8c on The CW.
